Hi Stefan,
As Don mentions, the problem is that System.currentTimeMillis() returns
values that are too large to be completely represented as 32-bit floats,
which is what Linear*Set uses internally. Here is some code that
illustrates the basic issue:
long x = System.currentTimeMillis();
long y = x + 1;
float f = (float) x;
float g = (float) y;
long xp = (long) f;
long yp = (long) g;
System.out.println(x + " != " + xp);
System.out.println(y + " != " + yp);
You can use the Gridded*DDoubleSet to explicitly define your entire
sampling grid (but make it linear to match Linear*DSet). The performance
penalty should not be too much, and the precision will allow for use of
64-bit timestamps as domain sample coordinates.
Alternately, have you tried using VisAD's Units package? Use smaller values
for your Linear*DSet range, but assign a Unit to them at construction to
define the unit that those smaller values represent. I have not used this
feature much myself, but it may work.
HTH,
Curtis
